Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips I love Ghirardelli, but you can use any brand.
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans toasted for extra flavor (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (It makes clean up so much easier)
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat until well mixed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Pecans: Gently fold in the luxury chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Don't over bake.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
